Think of the batteries exactly like the ones in yer battery drill (assuming you have one)

Nicad run full power for a while then slow power loss until its done

Nimh runs full power for as long as it can then nothing.

you wont need high output batteries like 4000mAh for starters. i would get at least a couple of packs as they will run out sooner than you expect. I am amazed that you can have them for less than a tenner....used to cost a fortune in my day.

As to the charger would get one that charges using both 240V (mains) and 12VDC i.e from your car battery. If you are out and about this helps, theres nothing worse than no charged batteries.

If you can find a 2500VP thats a good start.

Thought I had mentioned this.. oops

It's a tamiya hornet kit... got everything else just needing the batteries and charger..

Ah the memories, I had one of those the first time around and still have about a dozen of the early tamiya's tucked away in boxes over at the folks from my days racing in the Eurocup.
